FVWM: disappearing windows

I have a problem which is not caused by FVWM, but am hoping that
maybe FVWM can help fix it.

One particular sort of xterm, created by another application as
a "vi" edit window, vanishes almost instantly after appearing.
I suppose there's an error message, but it disappears before it
can be read. I haven't found a way to redirect such messages to
a file -- "exec > ~/CC 2>&1" at the top of .bashrc does not even
create the CC file in this situation.

Is there any way to tell FVWM to retain the xterm window until I
close it, even after the process that created it exits? I didn't
find anything relevant in the manpage by searching for "destroy"
and "close", but maybe those aren't the right words to look for.
